{wedding guest dress: yellow ruffles}

Does anything scream sunshine like a yellow dress? I felt happy and wanted to twirl around all of Key West in this!

Shoot Location: Kimpton Key West, Ridley House

Now that things are *getting back to normal* I feel like it's time to start talking about wedding guest dresses and heels and jewelry and eek!! This dress comes in sooooo many colors so there's one for every personality ;) It's the perfect length and flattering on any body type because the ruffles are super forgiving. I was relieved that the off the shoulder top didn't cut into my arms either - you could easily move the top ruffle to sit on your shoulders too. I'm in my true size small!

It's been a hot minute since I've had to wear heels but I couldn't resist these nude babies with clear straps. The clear shoe trend has been very popular recently - with the actual heel being acrylic or just the straps or toe being a strip of clear vinyl. I wasn't sure how I felt about it so this was a nice way to dip my toe into the trend (get it? get it??). When I pick a heel for weddings 9 out of 10 times I go for a block heel. It allows me to dance the night away and never feel like I need to take my shoes off - remember gross dance floors?!

Who is excited to go to a MASSIVE wedding and dance the night away?! Haha :) Would y'all like to see more wedding guest dress options? Let me know below!

Love Always,

One of the hardest things to dress for in the cooler months are rehearsal dinners and weddings! You want something comfortable to dance in, appropriate for the dress code, and seasonal! If you're like me, then you don't want long sleeves or a heavy, thick material if you're tearing up the dance floor. Getting a strappy dress is totally fine for the cold if you add a cashmere wrap to give you some warmth (bonus points because it will cover your shoulders if you're at a strict ceremony and don't want to keep a coat on). So how do you keep it seasonally appropriate... The answer? Color and fabric! Stick with dark hues like navy, black, wine/burgundy, and emerald green. For the fabric make sure it doesn't wrinkle easily (that instantly cheapens a dress) and that it's nicer than your simple black dress you wear to work. This is your opportunity to make a statement!

I originally tried this dress on in red at Shop Luna in Bethesda - y'all went nuts over it on IG stories. While I love a red dress more than anything I wanted to keep things a bit more muted for the rehearsal dinner (I was a bridesmaid) and this navy blue was so stunning when the fabric moves. It's stretchy and hugs you in the right places while still allowing you to eat (phew). I'm a small chested gal so I loved the knot at the front to give me some shape. I paired it with my favorite leopard clutch for a pop, comfortable nude heels, and the most gorgeous camel cashmere wrap I own. Camel goes with everything and really makes the navy appear rich!

Love Always,

I bought this dress for a rehearsal dinner in October and have worn it so many times since! It's perfect for a holiday wedding, dinner date, holiday work party, and even a fancier New Year's Eve! I know what you're thinking... "but Jenn... it's navy blue?" Think of it as a neutral - add some deep emerald green to feel festive (not everyone likes red, ya know) and add lots of sparkle and black pumps for NYE. The best part? This dress will still work perfectly for the warmer months. So you're investing in a year round dress! It comes in 6 colors if navy isn't your thing. I went up a size because it runs small.

Can you believe it's one week until Christmas? Does everyone have their Christmas shopping done?

Love Always,
